I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op and trying to set up my daily nutritional goals. I know that I have to intake at least 60 grams of Protein, but has anyone been given amounts for carbs, Fiber, and sugar? I have an app that I can set up this information in, but don't have anything. Any help would be great!!!

I am only one week out, but my info says never more than 10g fat or 10g sugar at one time.

At 2 weeks I can have smooth food (like yogurt). At 3 week I can add soft veggies and canned fruit(limited).

At 8 weeks I can add fresh veggies and nuts.

Not sure where meat and cheese go in this schedule? I have post op meeting next week with lots more questions on nutrition.

I started eating meats in my "soft foods" stage, which was week 4 or 5 (week 5 if you are sleeve). Now, I will say that I only ate VERY tender meat with some type of sauce or gravy. I ate rotisserie chicken and lean ground beef. I eat cheese a lot now. Some people might think that cheese has too much fat, but my NUT believes in a healthy regimen of fat in your diet. I take the Keto approach when eating mostly.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
